Co-financed by the EU Commission Erasmus+ programme and led by the Italian network for VET ENAIP NET, the project NERDVET - THINK SMART! ENHANCING CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS & MEDIA LITERACY IN VET aims at designing, implementing and testing an educational Toolkit to support VET teachers and trainers in improving critical thinking and media literacy skills in iVET students. By doing so, NERDVET will foster the development of innovative methods and practices to make education more inclusive and able to train more informed and critically aware citizens.
The project partnership includes seven partners from six EU countries: Italy, Belgium, Greece, Portugal, Spain and The Netherlands.
The project’s expected results are to:
- IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF TEACHING among VET teachers
- IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LEARNING among VET students by enhancing their critical thinking skills, so that they can actively face future innovation and changes both in their professional and social life.
- Provide VET students with MEDIA LITERACY COMPETENCES, so that they can become critically aware citizens and use digital media in a more informed way.
- Stimulate CULTURAL AWARENESS AMONG VET STUDENTS, to favour inclusion and their proactive participation to social and civic life in society.
